DoorDash Rolls Out AI Text Ordering in Apple Messages
DoorDash now lets US users order food by texting an AI agent inside Apple Messages, but access requires joining a waitlist.
DoorDash has launched text-based food ordering through Apple's Messages app, with an AI agent handling the conversation. The feature is initially available only in the US and requires users to join a waitlist.
Once in, customers can text their cravings, reorder usual meals, and complete checkout without leaving the text thread. The entire flow stays inside Messages, turning a chat into a storefront.
The move pushes DoorDash deeper into conversational commerce, where ordering feels less like browsing an app and more like texting a friend. It also puts the company directly inside one of the most-used apps on iPhone.
9to5mac.com reported the launch. For now, the waitlist means availability is limited, and DoorDash has not said when it might expand beyond the US.
